The Israeli military has been increasing attacks across many areas in Gaza. The main focus in the past couple of days, even early this morning, are the central areas, including the Bureij and Maghazi refugee camps and Deir el-Balah, Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum reports from Deir el-Balah, central Gaza.

These areas have been classified by the Israeli military as safe zones, yet what we’ve noticed a clear surge in military on Maghazi.

In last night’s attacks, at least six Palestinians were killed after a house was targeted. Two others were killed here in Deir el-Balah and there is ongoing constant bombardment in the Bureij refugee camp.

What we do know and hear from citizens is that the vast majority of attacks were carried out without any prior warning. They have been targeting densely populated areas without any kind of precaution to avoid any casualties among the civilians and that reflects the Israeli intention to grow the military operation.
